Find the product:(3p2 + q2) (2p2 – 3q2) |
Answer» (3p2 + q2) (2p2 – 3q2) Suppose (a + b) and (c – d) are two binomials. By using the distributive law of multiplication over addition twice, we may find their product as given below. (a + b) × (c – d) = a × (c – d) + b × (c – d) = (a × c – a × d) + (b × c – b × d) = ac – ad + bc – bd Let, a= 3p2, b= q2, c= 2p2, d= 3q2 Now, = 3p2× (2p2 – 3q2) + q2 × (2p2 – 3q2) = [(3p2× 2p2) + (3p2× -3q2)] + [(q2 × 2p2) + (q2 × -3q2)] = [6p4 – 9p2q2 + 2q2p2 – 3q4)] = [6p4 – 7p2q2 – 3q4] |

If \(x+\frac{1}{x} = 9\) find the value of \(x^4+\frac{1}{x^4}\) |
Answer» Given that, x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) = 9 Squaring both sides, we get (x + \(\frac{1}{x}\))2 = 92 x2 + \(\frac{1}{x\times x}\) + 2 = 81 x2 + \(\frac{1}{x\times x}\) = 79 Again, Squaring both sides, we get (x2 + \(\frac{1}{x\times x}\) )2 = 792 x4 + \(\frac{1}{x\times x\times x\times x}\) + 2 = 6241 x4 + \(\frac{1}{x\times x\times x\times x}\) = 6239 |

Evaluate these using identity :33 × 27 |
Answer» 33 × 27 = (30 + 3) (30 – 3) identity (a + b)(a – b) = a2 – b2 Here a = 30,b = 3 (30 + 3)(30 – 3) = 302 – 32 = 900 – 9 33 × 27 = 891 |

Find the product: (2m – l)(2l – m) |
Answer» (2m – l) (2l – m) = 2m(2l – m) – l(2l – m) = 2m × 2l – 2m × m – l × 2l + l × m = 4lm – 2m2 – 2l2 + lm = 5lm – 2m2 – 2l2 |
